One of my favourite commissions. Unfortunately I One of my favourite commissions.

Unfortunately I never scanned this painting so there's only a crummy phone pic.
I think my caricatures are best with minimal shading and detail on the subjects and more painterly flourishes in the background.
It almost has the effect of a cel from an old animated movie where the characters were flat and the backgrounds lush.

Settles every dispute

He neutered Sir Glossop
For trying it on with his wife.

Amfibuary day 1 : Common Frog Eddie smoked cheap Amfibuary day 1 : Common Frog

Eddie smoked cheap cigarettes, cursed like a sailor, and was known to frequent houses of ill repute. 
But if the price of gaining social status was having to mingle with the snobs from the opposite river bank, he was very happy to be referred to as 'common'.
